Editor's Notes
- Welcome and intros.
- How to develop an effective search strategy when you need to find information for an essay or project The range of resources available and how to use them to find good quality and relevant information for your essay/project……now and in the future once you leave MDX Evaluating information for quality and relevance Research from Uni of Huddersfield shows that correlation between library usage and good grades.
- Essay demonstrates ability to identify relevant ethical, social and legal issues, pertaining to a particular topic area, case study or domain of application = 6 ie. need to find relevant books and journals etc Essay shows that the student is aware of opposing perspectives, and/or different arguments/theories in the topic area = 6 ie. need to find a balanced range of resources to get all viewpoints Essay assesses and evaluates relevant ethical and legal issues. Are professional principles applied in order to explain arguments, or recommend courses of action =6 ie. might want to speak to LDU re critical thinking etc Range and quality of references, including evidence of authoritative sources used. Use of correct referencing style, including in-text referencing = 4 ie. need to use good quality resources and reference correctly Presentation and written English, including grammar and spelling = 3 ie. might want to speak to LDU
- Hand out Reference game: Imagine that you are a lecturer teaching on a computer security module. You have asked your students to write a report on Computer Security and Malware. You will award 15% of the total marks for a list of quality references, which are both relevant and correctly given using the Harvard Referencing System. (The other marks will be awarded for content and style). Look at the 3 reference lists that you have been given, and award a mark out of 5 for each list under the 3 headings (marking criteria): 1 = low mark 5= high mark.
- List 1 All items relevant Good range of resources: British Standards, encyclopaedia, conference proceedings, academic journals, books Academic quality: reputable sources e.g. BSI, Britannica, IEEE....peer reviewed etc Up-to-date: Nothing more than 2 years old. Correctly referenced: Very good. List 2 Some items relevant, some not e.g. newspaper article Limited range of resources: mainly websites Academic quality: poor academic quality- local newspapers, wikipedia, webopedia etc Not Up-to-date e.g. book 1985 Correctly referenced: Badly referenced e.g. don’t know when accessed electronic resources, no publisher details for the book List 3 All items relevant Good range of resources: reasonable range of academic resources e.g. academic journal, books, conference proceeding Academic quality: reputable sources e.g. IEEE Up-to-date: older edition of Gollman book, everything just a little too old. Mothing really up-to-date. Correctly referenced: Good, although brackets missing from date on Massicote item and single quotes missing from article title by Andrews.
- More information about the range of resources available on the Library Subject Guide plus useful online guides eg. how to find information for your project.
- What can you see in the picture…fruit If type ‘fruit’ into database will get millions of hits, how can you break it down ie. search for something more specific to get more manageable results Can you be more specific ie. Type of fruit: apples, oranges, bananas etc Location: Stall, market, outdoor market, fruit market, Britain Detail: boxes, signs, astroturf, prices, colour of fruit, lights, pound £ signs, special offer etc People in background: old, young, male, female > stall holder, customers, browsers etc Think of related subjects eg. retail, commercial, financial, point-of-sale Shopping, shops, fish/meat/clothes market, shopping centres, high street Town, city, centre, British town Nutrition: vits and mins Also: Orange or Blackberry: fruit NOT telephone Apple: fruit NOT computer Thinking beyond the obvious, looking for the detail that might make a difference.
